Being an entrepreneur, I took the cash instead.

It appears that entrepreneurs, as a group, make less money than salaried people because of the very high probability of failure.

Many of these seem to be taught by RE Entrepreneurs who in a SPECIFIC MARKET, using a SPECIFIC TECHNIQUE may or may not have actually made money from the technique. .

It looks completely unprofessional and people will assume you don't know what you are doing.I talk to many small & medium businesses through my volunteer work at Entrepreneurs' Organization (www.eonetwork.org), and there are a lot of companies in the $1m to $10m in annual revenue range who use Google Apps extensively for email and document management.You can get a Google apps account for free and have [email protected] - plus it integrates quite nice with Outlook via their sync tool - so you have the best of both worlds, and your email/contacts/calendar, etc are always in sync between your phone, PC, Laptop, iPad, and whatever else you use.Salesforce.com also has direct integration with Google apps if you use that.Google Apps (free): http://www.google.com/apps/intl/en-GB/group/index.htmlOutlook Sync: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gappssync

Entrepreneurs talk and talk about their product and business….

Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, have greater variance in their incomes but also a much higher potential.

I have known I was going to be an entrepreneur since I was very young, I just did not know in what area.

I always enjoy learning about entrepreneurs and their companies.Welcome aboard!

If I can add, Microsoft started with one product, perfected it and then branched out, very successfully.Exactly...amateur investors should focus...as you gain more experience, you start to look for the best investments, not necessarily the same investments...The difference between good and great entrepreneurs is that great entrepreneurs can recognize a great deal, even if it doesn't fit their "niche"...
